259436a505 bnx2: Update 5709 firmware.
New firmware fixes a data corruption issue when receiving and
placing jumbo frames into host buffers.  In some cases, the
buffer descriptor is not updated correctly and this will lead
to the driver linking the wrong number of pages into the SKB.

9970937273 net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any()
The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite.  Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt().  Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements.  I have no
idea what this patch will do.

2a7b8df04c sched: do not account for NMIs
Impact: avoid corruption in system time accounting

Martin Schwidefsky told me that there was an issue with NMIs and
system accounting. The problem is that the accounting code is
not reentrant, and if an NMI goes off after an interrupt it can
corrupt the accounting.

For now, the best we can do is to treat NMIs like SMIs and they
are not accounted for.

This patch changes nmi_enter to not call __irq_enter and to do
the preempt-count and tracing calls directly.

45141d4667 ring-buffer: rename label out_unlock to out_reset
Impact: clean up

While reviewing the ring buffer code, I thougth I saw a bug with

	if (!__raw_spin_trylock(&cpu_buffer->lock))
		goto out_unlock;

But I forgot that we use a variable "lock_taken" that is set if
the spinlock is taken, and only unlock it if that variable is set.

To avoid further confusion from other reviewers, this patch
renames the label out_unlock with out_reset, which is the more
appropriate name.

5a5fb7dbe8 preempt-count: force hardirq-count to max of 10
To add a bit in the preempt_count to be set when in NMI context, we
found that some archs did not have enough bits to spare. This is
due to the hardirq_count being a mask that can hold NR_IRQS.

Some archs allow for over 16000 IRQs, and that would require a mask
of 14 bits. The sofitrq mask is 8 bits and the preempt disable mask
is also 8 bits.  The PREEMP_ACTIVE bit is bit 30, and bit 31 would
make the preempt_count (which is type int) a negative number.
A negative preempt_count is a sign of failure.

Add them up 14+8+8+1+1 you get 32 bits. No room for the NMI bit.

But the hardirq_count is to track the number of nested IRQs, not
the number of total IRQs.  This originally took the paranoid approach
of setting the max nesting to NR_IRQS. But when we have archs with
over 1000 IRQs, it is not practical to think they will ever all
nest on a single CPU. Not to mention that this would most definitely
cause a stack overflow.

This patch sets a max of 10 bits to be used for IRQ nesting.
I did a 'git grep HARDIRQ' to examine all users of HARDIRQ_BITS and
HARDIRQ_MASK, and found that making it a max of 10 would not hurt
anyone. I did find that the m68k expected it to be 8 bits, so
I allow for the archs to set the number to be less than 10.

I removed the setting of HARDIRQ_BITS from the archs that set it
to more than 10. This includes ALPHA, ia64 and avr32.

This will always allow room for the NMI bit, and if we need to allow
for NMI nesting, we have 4 bits to play with.

3a4c6800f3 Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix").  The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.

But the !done condition was dropped from the test.  This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg.  due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again.  This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function.  When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.

This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604

about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

4d48a542b4 nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbds
Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized)
nbd device to hang indefinitely.  To reproduce:

# ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048
# dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

...hangs...

This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server
connection.  Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the
client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.

This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277

Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the
same.

This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD:
allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around
2.6.25.

The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request.  This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to
immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of
this bug.

9480c53e9b mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap
Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:

> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
> Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so
> that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the
> process had any mlocked pages.  (in fact, it somehow manages to get into
> the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get
> a swap token)

Jeremy explained:

Yes.  In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing).  An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.

As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.

This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap().  The munlocking happens
a few lines below.  The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.

Thus, this patch:

exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

6c5979631b syscall define: fix uml compile bug
With the new system call defines we get this on uml:

arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'

Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask.  However sys_sigprocmask is missing
because of this.

To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.

0e4a9b5928 ext2/xip: refuse to change xip flag during remount with busy inodes
For a reason that I was unable to understand in three months of debugging,
mount ext2 -o remount stopped working properly when remounting from
regular operation to xip, or the other way around.  According to a git
bisect search, the problem was introduced with the VM_MIXEDMAP/PTE_SPECIAL
rework in the vm:

commit 70688e4dd1
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Date:   Mon Apr 28 02:13:02 2008 -0700

    xip: support non-struct page backed memory

In the failing scenario, the filesystem is mounted read only via root=
kernel parameter on s390x.  During remount (in rc.sysinit), the inodes of
the bash binary and its libraries are busy and cannot be invalidated (the
bash which is running rc.sysinit resides on subject filesystem).
Afterwards, another bash process (running ifup-eth) recurses into a
subshell, runs dup_mm (via fork).  Some of the mappings in this bash
process were created from inodes that could not be invalidated during
remount.

Both parent and child process crash some time later due to inconsistencies
in their address spaces.  The issue seems to be timing sensitive, various
attempts to recreate it have failed.

This patch refuses to change the xip flag during remount in case some
inodes cannot be invalidated.  This patch keeps users from running into
that issue.

cfebe563bd cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflow
I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:
 # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/0

This showed up immediately:
 BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
		struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
		if (ss->root == root)
			mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
	}

Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but
MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.

This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

The SYSCALL wrapper patches played havoc with kernel-doc for
syscalls.  Syscalls that were scanned for DocBook processing
reported warnings like this one, for sys_tgkill:

Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'tgkill'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int'

because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
although they are not:

/**
 *  sys_tgkill - send signal to one specific thread
 *  @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
 *  @pid: the PID of the thread
 *  @sig: signal to be sent
 *
 *  This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
 *  exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
 *  method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.
 */
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(tgkill, pid_t, tgid, pid_t, pid, int, sig)
{
...

This patch special-cases the handling SYSCALL_DEFINE* function
prototypes by expanding them to
	long sys_foobar(type1 arg1, type1 arg2, ...)

2e9c237243 memcg: use __GFP_NOWARN in page cgroup allocation
page_cgroup's page allocation at init/memory hotplug uses kmalloc() and
vmalloc(). If kmalloc() failes, vmalloc() is used.

This is because vmalloc() is very limited resource on 32bit systems.
We want to use kmalloc() first.

But in this kind of call, __GFP_NOWARN should be specified.

508b9f8efd mm: fix mlocked page counter mismatch
When I tested following program, I found that the mlocked counter
is strange.  It cannot free some mlocked pages.

It is because try_to_unmap_file() doesn't check real
page mappings in vmas.

That is because the goal of an address_space for a file is to find all
processes into which the file's specific interval is mapped.  It is
related to the file's interval, not to pages.

Even if the page isn't really mapped by the vma, it returns SWAP_MLOCK
since the vma has VM_LOCKED, then calls try_to_mlock_page.  After this the
mlocked counter is increased again.

COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case.  This patch
resolves it.

-- my test program --

int main()
{
       mlockall(MCL_CURRENT);
       return 0;
}

-- before --

root@barrios-target-linux:~# cat /proc/meminfo | egrep 'Mlo|Unev'
Unevictable:           0 kB
Mlocked:               0 kB

-- after --

root@barrios-target-linux:~# cat /proc/meminfo | egrep 'Mlo|Unev'
Unevictable:           8 kB
Mlocked:               8 kB

02ac597c9b ext3: revert "ext3: wait on all pending commits in ext3_sync_fs"
This reverts commit c87591b719.

Since journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we started a
transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be committed or
there's a transaction already committing, we don't need to call
ext3_force_commit() in ext3_sync_fs().  Furthermore ext3_force_commit()
can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is expensive so it's
worthwhile to remove it when we can.

8fe4cd0dc5 jbd: fix return value of journal_start_commit()
journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a transaction is committing or
the function has queued a transaction commit.  But it returns 0 if we
raced with somebody queueing the transaction commit as well.  This
resulted in ext3_sync_fs() not functioning correctly (description from
Arthur Jones): In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long
symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to
not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super.
Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT
flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device,
causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block
data to userspace.

This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
<sandeen@redhat.com>:

        #!/bin/bash

        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        rm -f /mnt/test2/*
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
        touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        /mnt/test2/link
        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        ls /mnt/test2/

This patch fixes journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when there's
a transaction committing or queued for commit.

fc3501d411 mm: fix dirty_bytes/dirty_background_bytes sysctls on 64bit arches
We need to pass an unsigned long as the minimum, because it gets casted
to an unsigned long in the sysctl handler. If we pass an int, we'll
access four more bytes on 64bit arches, resulting in a random minimum
value.

17c9d12e12 Do not account for hugetlbfs quota at mmap() time if mapping [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
Commit 5a6fe12595 brought hugetlbfs more
in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving
hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
are specified.  However, it is still taking filesystem quota
unconditionally.

At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate
the page and account for filesystem quota.  If either fail, the fault
fails.  The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice.  This
patch partially reverts 5a6fe12595.  To
help prevent this mistake happening again, it improves the documentation
of hugetlb_reserve_pages()
